Develop a strategy on how to effectively capture the most completed responses from current business owners. You will be given a survey link and a unique identifier to give to your participants so you can receive credit for their participation. This is a competition among your classmates. The survey administration will last 2 weeks. Results will be updated after the first week for which you will need to assess your current strategy and make any relevant implementation changes. After the survey closes, the final results will be distributed. Prizes for the students strategically collecting the most survey responses will be given.
